Chapter 1722: Youhuang’s Return
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed sharply when he heard the words of the heavenly deity. The heavenly deity wanted him to summon all the immortal emperors under his command here?
Indeed, his subordinates and good friends are all people of Azure Mystic. If their strength increased, it was true that they would have the ability to better protect Azure Mystic in the future.
His immortal sense entered his messaging crystal as he sent out a command, telling everyone to gather in the imperial palace of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty’s past location.
Upon receiving his command, the immortal emperors of the various peak powers all moved out. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Qing`er, Southern Phoenix Matriarch, Darknorth Immortal Emperor, Jadestage Palace Mistress, Battle Saint Tribe, the experts of the Myriad Devil Islands all set out, using teleportation arrays and arrived in the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty’s past location with the greatest speed. Right now, everywhere in Azure Mystic was connected by teleportation arrays, and the Heaven Empyrean Palace was the hub of them all. Now that Azure Mystic was united, the Heaven Empyrean Palace naturally wanted to be the point of connection between the various locations.
Hence, with just a command, everyone else could gather at a location at the shortest time possible.
After Qin Wentian was titled as the Heaven Empyrean, this was the first time he sent out a command. Everyone proceeded forward with no hesitation, rushing towards the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty’s imperial palace.
After he sent out the command, Qin Wentian stared at the heavenly deity and spoke, “Senior, I’ve already sent out the command. Very soon, everyone will gather outside the forbidden ground. It’s just that in order to avoid any unexpected situations, I need to be there and escort them in here. If not, as long as there’s an empyrean from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, that person would be able to control them easily.
“Mhm, that’s only natural.” The ancient heavenly deity nodded.
“What about the other experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms that are already in Ancient Azure Mystic?” Qin Wentian asked.
“Don’t worry about them. The ancient battlefield exists in Ancient Azure Mystic. Although good fortune can be found everywhere, they can only receive a very small part of it. This world is boundless vast, even if there are bouts of good fortune, it isn’t so easily sought out. Let alone the fact that if they really encountered a bout of good fortune, they would already have started a fight against each other.” The heavenly deity calmly spoke. Qin Wentian nodded in agreement. If there really was a heaven-defying bout of good fortune like a divine depository being discovered, those empyreans from the Heavenly Deity Race would definitely fight against the others to claim it. Who would be willing to give up such a fortune? All of them would only want to take it for themselves.
“I’ll go out with you, let me borrow your body again. I will inscribe a formation to send us out.” The heavenly deity spoke. Qin wentian nodded. After that, the heaven deity’s will turned into a beam of light and entered the center of Qin Wentian’s brow, fusing with Qin Wentian’s consciousness. In this ancient battlefield, only the entrance existed. Qin Wentian himself didn’t know how to exit it.
The heavenly deity borrowed Qin Wentian’s body and was inscribing a formation using his legs. Resplendent light flashed, astral runes covered the surface of the ground, drawing in astral energy. In an instant, the nine black spheres around the black sun shone resplendently, shining upon the formation that was just inscribed. The dark stars seemed to be connected together as a black beam of light cascaded down onto the formation. Qin Wentian stepped forward, the formation activated as he vanished from his location.
When Qin Wentian appeared again, it was at the entrance gate leading to Ancient Azure Mystic. Over here, many experts were gathered and when they saw Qin Wentian’s appearance, their eyes flashed with a strange light.
“I pay my respects to the Heaven Empyrean.” A person bowed, recognizing Qin Wentian. This man was someone from the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. There were also empyreans whose eyes gleamed with sharpness as they asked, “Sir, why did you appear from?”
Qin Wentian’s sudden appearance was extremely strange, suddenly manifesting at the entrance with a flood of light. It felt like he came out from within the ancient battlefield.
Qin Wentian calmly glanced at the empyrean who spoke. He ignored the question and with a flash of silhouette, he directly stepped into the void and vanished from sight. This caused the empyrean to have a look of pondering on his face.
Not long after, Qin wentian arrived at the imperial palace of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. When he came here, many have already arrived. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Qing`er and the others were all here, including Little Rascal, Purgatory, and Jun Mengchen.
“Senior brother, what is going on exactly?” Jun Mengchen curiously asked. Beside him, the old man who inducted him into the Heavenly Talisman Realm and Bai Wuya were both present as well.
“Mengchen, great changes are occuring in Azure Mystic. A major incident has happened. When everyone is here, I will let everyone know about this incident.” Qin Wentian spoke. After he exited the ancient battlefield, the will of that ancient heavenly deity seemed to have fallen asleep, it no longer had any influence on him.
“Right.” Jun Mengchen nodded, but he felt an unbearable itch of curiosity in his heart. Before this, Qin Wentian already commanded the powers of Azure Mystic to pay attention to the movements of those mysterious experts who came here from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, including empyrean-level characters. But even so, they still didn’t know and didn’t understand what has happened.
Now that Qin Wentian was summoning them, he most probably already had a clear idea what was happening.
Matriarch Ji, Emperor Yu and the others came by. The various experts on the Myriad Devil Islands came here as well. Bai Qing walked over to Qin Wentian and called out in a low voice, “Wentian gege.”
“Little Qing, you are here.” Qin Wentian tousled the hair on her head.
“Mhm, I want to share the burden with Wentian gege.” Bai Qing replied.
“Good.” Qin Wentian laughed. This little lass was already an impressive immortal emperor, yet he always felt that she was just like a little girl before him.
When all the experts gathered here, Qin Wentian spoke, “Recently, Azure Mystic hasn’t been peaceful and I’m sure everyone has heard about it. Before this, I told all the powers to pay attention to the mysterious visitors from the upper world and now, everything is finally clear. Not long ago, I learned of some secrets of Azure Mystic. It turns out that this world of ours isn’t Ancient Azure Mystic, it’s just a small part of that world. Once, the territories of our world were countless times more vast compared to now, and the strength level of experts were also much stronger. Above ancient emperors, there are world overlords, above world overlords, there were even heavenly deities in our world.”
The eyes of everyone gleamed with sharpness. World overlords, heavenly deities, they had never heard of such existences before. All of them were extremely serious now as they listened.
“Ancient Azure Mystic had heavenly deity-ranked powers and they stood at the peak of our world. However, some of the deity-ranked powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wanted to seize Azure Mystic for their own to plunder the divine depositories here, wanting us all to submit. The ancients of our world refused to do so and hence, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms sent large batches of heavenly deities over and a world-ending battle began. In the end, Azure Mystic was levelled to flat ground by the war, the supreme character of Ancient Azure Mystic was named the Imperishable Heaven Lord, he defended our world against the invaders and he used a heavenly-defying technique to bury the whole of Ancient Azure Mystic. Right now, I discovered that the entrance to Ancient Azure Mystic is nowhere other than in the forbidden grounds of the Darknorth Immortal Empire. The entrance gate has appeared again and the empyreans from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realm came here for precisely this purpose.”
Qin Wentian summarized what he knew into a few simple sentences. The hearts of everyone trembled with waves after they heard this.
Ancient Azure Mystic, divine depository, heavenly deity, world-ending battle… All these seemed so far away from them, was history going to repeat itself now?
The world they existed in actually wasn’t the true Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.
“Inside the ancient battlefield, I encountered a heavenly deity from Ancient Azure Mystic. He is already dead but a strand of his will still survived. He hopes that I can take over the mission of the Imperishable Heaven Lord to protect Azure Mystic. If the experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms all gathered here, I’m afraid we won’t be able to protect this world, our fates would be to be enslaved by those supreme powers. Hence, I agreed to the heavenly deity’s request. Everyone here today are my close friends or my elders, are you all willing to accompany me in this?” Qin Wentian asked.
“Senior brother, I’ll naturally follow you.” Jun Mengchen spoke. Qing`er and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t say anything, there was no need for them to. Bai Qing silently stood at Qin Wentian’s side, her intent was clear without needing for her to say anything.
“Heaven Empyrean, you are the overlord of Azure Mystic, we will naturally follow you.” The ruler of the Shooting Sun Immortal Empire spoke. Out of everyone in the crowd, his relationship with Qin Wentian was considered the mildest. Since this was the time to express his stance, he naturally would do so.
“If we choose to walk this path, there might be danger to our life. Facing those empyreans of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms are simply too risky, even I myself do not have the absolute confidence to win against all of them. Although I’m the Heaven Empyrean, I have never treated you guys as my subordinates. I will respect your choices and will not force any of you. But if you guys really decide to follow me, just know that there’s no longer a way for you to turn back.” Qin Wentian seriously spoke. Everyone naturally trusted in Qin Wentian’s moral standing. Since he put it so clearly, everyone knew that if they weren’t willing to follow him, Qin Wentian wouldn’t say anything in protest.
Danger always coexisted with good fortune. Many of them had cultivated for countless years yet they were stuck at the immortal emperor realm and personally watched as a junior like Qin Wentian surpassed them. Now, since Ancient Azure Mystic has appeared, wasn’t it also considered a stroke of fortune for them? They definitely had to go with Qin Wentian into there for a look.
Everyone here with no exceptions all chose to follow Qin Wentian. They understood that from this moment onwards, they have completely chosen to stand together with him, they couldn’t disobey or betray him.
“Good. For the next period of time, everyone just rest for now in the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. I still need to wait for one more person to arrive.” Qin Wentian spoke. On his way here, he had already received Beiming Youhuang’s message. The Lifelong Realmlord eventually still gave in to greed and sent four world palace lords over to Ancient Mystic. Since Beiming Youhuang was someone from the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, she took the initiative to volunteer herself for this mission. The Lifelong Realmlord agreed to it, hence she would be arriving here not too long after.
Many people felt somewhat curious. Who exactly was Qin Wentian waiting for?
“Everyone, there’s no need to keep guessing. Most probably, many of you have already heard of the name of the person I’m waiting for before. The Darknorth Immortal Emperor should be incomparably familiar with it. She is none other than your daughter, Beiming Youhuang.” Qin Wentian spoke.
A bright light flashed in the Darknorth Immortal Emperor’s eyes. Was Youhuang going to return?
Seems like the relationship between Qin Wentian and his daughter was much better than he had expected. He felt some joy in his heart. With this layer of connection from his daughter Youhuang, Qin Wentian would surely take good care of him. The beautiful palace mistress of the Jadestage Immortal Palace and some others could only stare at the Darknorth Immortal Emperor enviously.
Seems like the relationship between Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang wasn’t simple at all. Could it be that the Darknorth Immortal Emperor was also Qin Wentian’s father-in-law?
Naturally, they only dared to think about this in their hearts. None of them dared to say it out.
More and more experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms came to Azure Mystic, as they entered the gate continuously. Until one day, a total of four world palace lords from the Lifelong Realm brought many immortal emperors with them as they arrived here. Beiming Youhuang was among them and she guided these people to move towards the direction of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty!
